Delight and surprise your child this Christmas season with either a letter or video message from Santa Claus. I have always used the free versions of each service although they have additional services for a fee if you want to add to your letter or video. I appreciate the fact that even with the free option, there are many ways to customize the message for your child and it is easy to use, taking only a few minutes to put together. We have done this for a few years and the kids are always so happy to get a personal greeting from Santa.

Start Sampling is a website where you can go and request free
samples of products to be sent to your home. Make sure to check out the forums where
people will post other free sample opportunities, coupons, savings websites and much more. It is a great way to
get free travel-size products and try some new things out.
I have amassed quite the stockpile of toothpaste! http://startsampling.com/

What Christmas season would be complete without a phone call from Santa himself??
Every year, I have scheduled at least one phone call for the kids to receive from Santa. They love it and the call is always helpful to remind them of the behavior Santa expects in anticipation of his visit.There are several websites to check out for scheduling calls. I have always used Cincinnati Bell, which is a southwestern Ohio phone company, but there are other websites that will call no matter what area of the country you reside in.

WELCOME TO MOM MINUTES

I created this blog to share ideas about everything related to being a mom. I try to incorporate posts about travel, recipes, family time, learning, kid-friendly activities, organizing and plain old encouragement in small bits that can be read in a few minutes of your time.
